Hello everyone. Even though I don’t plan on posting, it feels odd to lurk without some sort of intro.
First off, I am a female. That would (correctly) imply that I am not SF, nor will I ever be. I joined for two reasons: one, because I am dating someone who aspires to go into this line of work and is currently in the pipeline, and two, to use the search bar to more readily find answers to the questions I may have.
Since I won’t be asking any national security questions, let’s keep it semi-vague, shall we? I live in an unreasonably expensive suburb near an unreasonably expensive city in an unreasonably expensive state. I have a college degree in chemical engineering, which was not a wise move seeing as how I despise desk work. Working in oil and gas at the moment, we will see where that takes me. My job will eventually put me all over the world if I can suck it up and earn my stripes jockeying this desk.
I am here to learn (as the username implies). You all are a vast supply of knowledge and experience that I hope to tap. I have already started by reading a few books, but a lot of the things I have learned here by lurking I don’t think I could have learned through published text. These things are quite unsettling to me, honestly. My brain tends to run with ideas, going to the worst case scenario immediately and preparing for it. Maybe ignorance is bliss, but I have a thirst to learn and I won’t settle for not knowing. Stupidity (or ignorance in my case) is not an excuse, and I will not be apathetic when I can change it.
Thank you for putting this forum together and for the expertise you provide. I really appreciate it.
Since I’m long winded, a synopsis: I am a female (therefore not SF, now or future), I don’t plan on posting after this one, and I am here to learn. Back to lurking I go, now with the ability to use the search bar…
